at informal dinners and those occa-
sions in the evening where decoIete
would seem more than the occasion re-
CURED.
The fancy for wearing ribbons in the
neck and sleeves instead of linen finds
prompt response in the shops where
ruchings are shown on the edge OF
which is sewn narrow ribbons of all
cOlors. The taste for colored ruching
grows and it is shown in all shades, to
contrast with or exactly match the
costume.
The dresses get more and more
voluminous, and these full skirts, un-
less draped by the hand of an expert
enced modiste, are apt to have a
bunchy and awkward effect. Almost
all the smart, short frocks, not only ball
gowns, are fulled right around the
waist, and when they are of very rich
material the effect is beautiful.
China Grape without lustre Is made
up into handsome dinner dresses for
ladies in mourning, which are trimmed
with passementerie and pendants Of
dull Jet, and if lace is admissible the
point d. esprit is used with fine dots and
feather-edges like those on ribbons, or
else with scollops; entire dresses are
made of the piece lace with these fine
dots, which is preferred by many of the
beaded nets.
For wear with black lace skirts are
corsages of black velvet yelled by an
other corsage, almost high, viii ch con-
sists of a trellis of very narrow gold
galloon. Sometimes this cOrsage
covers only the shoulders and neck and
the upper part of the arm, and ter
inmates in pamphlets which drape on
the upper edge of the low cOrsage.
Sometimes the network yelling the
skin is of jet instead of gold.
Black lace dresses continue to fill
their useful function in the toilet, being,
as they are, at once elegant, capable of
being worn on the most diverse occa-
sions and suitable for all ages. Only
for evening receptions they are little
sombre, and to remedy this defect the
outlines of the lace are run with gold
thread, which is charming in effect,
very rich and yet quite in good taste.
Black lace dresses are not worn over
black only, but over an under dress of
any color, caet blue, old rose, tttleWt
green, and red of all shades.-M T.

THE ISLE OF PATMOS.

How st. Johns Place of Punishment APP
pears to the Modern Traveller.
Before the Christian era the name of
Patmos only occurs in a few passages
of ancient writer's, and of its history,
if it had one, nothing is known; it was
when it became the place of Danish
ment of st. John the Divine, and the
scene of his apocalyptic vision, that it
once for all attracted the attention of
mankind. At the present day it is one
of the least accessible of the Aegean
Islands, for, wing to its remote posi-
ton and the unprOductiveness of its
soil, no steamers ever touch there.
Long before we arrived, the monastery
of ST. John, which is the most conspic-
uous building in the island, had been in
sight, browning the summit of high hill,
like vast sOmbre castle, with its white
houses of the town clustered around it;
behind this rose the peak of Hagios
Elias, which reaches the elevation
of more than eight hundred feet. The
scala, or village at the landing place,
has a very peculiar aspect, for each of
the two-storied houses of which it is
composed resembles square, fiat
topped box, as white as whitewash can
make it. This mode of building pre-
walls throu ghout this island, and, as
afterwards found, in those that lie to
the southwark of it.
In shape PatmOs may be roughly de-
scribed as forming crescent, the horns
of which face cas- tward; but its outline is
broken up by innumerable promontories
inclosing landlocked creeks, so that,
when seen from above, it pre- sents
somewhat the aspect of strange poly
pus. Its length from north to south is
about eight miles, and its area is rug
ged and broken; but the most marked
popularity is that it is almost divided
in two in the middle, for in this part,
within distance of little more
than half mile from one
another, are two isthmuses only
few hundred yards wide, and rising but
lightly above the sea level. On the
southernmost of these the scala is
situated, while between the two stands
the steep hill on which the acropolis OF
the Hell enic city was built. The mar
row waist thus formed serves for
boundary line to determine the domain
of the monastery, for while the south
ern half of the island belongs to the
monks, the northern part is the possess
sion of the civil community. At the
tune of the foundation of the convent
no women were allowed to pass this
limit, but within a short time the
restriction had to be abandoned. The
soil of which the island is composed is
everywhere volcanic and very barren,
and its coasts are flanked by red and
gray rocks, which ever and anon break
into quaint pinnacles. The absence of
running water is shown by the numer-
Gus wind-mills, and there are only
three or four wells in the whole area;
the want of these, however, is made up
for by cisterns, and the inhabitants are
never obliged to import water, as some
times happens in Santorin. Baptist
Weekly.

SUGAR IMPORTS.
A Primitive Situation That Should Be Sur
mounted by American Farmers.

A Primitive Situation That Should Be Sur
mounted by American Farmers.
The report of Mr.. j. r. Dodge, sta
tistician of the United States Agricult-
ural Department, on the sugar pro-
duction of the world, contains some in
teresting data. According to the figures
presented, the amount of beet-rOot
sugar produced in the season of 1869
exceeds the cane sugar by 10000
metric tons, thus showing that more
than half the sugar used in commerce
is extracted from the beet. The man
ufacture of beet-sugar is entirely a
European industry. Mr. Dodge states
that its success in Europe is largely
where each shareholder in the
stock of beet-sugar factory
is required to furnish so many
beets per share. The farmers are
therefore, in reality, the manufacturers,
and, since they obtain the profits of the
manufacture, they are the most inter
ested in raising good beets at NOM
inaI price. The total consumption of
sugar in this country in 1885 was 1, 245,-
O6H JOIlSy VI WnlCh OHLJ fO,OOO GOlIo Wi
about three per cent? were produced
here. There is only one beet-sugar
factory in this country, and that is in
California, which produces sugar at
five cents per pound, and has to COM
pete with free sugar from the Sand
witch islands. The report further
states that our sugar consumption
amounts to about one-fourth of
all the sugar reported from the
countries of principal production, and
that within twenty-five years more than
1000. 600 tons will be required. almost
sufficient to swallow up the present
production of beet-sugar, or the whole
of the present cane-sugar of commerce
The report concludes as follows: SAT
a time when labor is in excess of de-
mand, and corn and wheat and cotton.
and other old staples of primitive
agriculture, exceed the wants of do
nestle and foreign markets, we scour
the world for root-products costing
more than 5000, 900, 900 per annum, the
larger portion of which should be pro-
duced in the United States. This prim-
tive and unenterprising situation must
be surmounted by a more skilful,
scientific and inventive agriculture. -

friend Of President Cleveland, who is very

was interviewed in regard to the charge
OF Cyclopedist Dana, of the Now York

Te-re Hauts speeches were taken princi-

says that for ssvazal weeks prior to the
